2. Design updates
I don’t know if we should talk about eliminating the back of the seat since we have no illustrations to show that.???
Also should we mention consideration of a pressure mat or sensors.??

3. Subsystem identification
Arduino Software
Pump
Valves (did we specify a particular kind yet?)
hoses

4. Design parameters Soft low density foam Individual valves (type?)
Breathable & waterproof material (Gore-tex)
15 degree angle
Gortex Has the ability to release water vapor from within material while preventing liquid from entering.
Maybe viscoelastic This degree is important because based on calculations the proper height for 15 deg tilt is 3.5 inches which is the said deg. Of tilt that allows blood and oxygen to recirculate.

5. Prototype development
Some materials purchased
Software programmed
Fabrication of bladders initiated
Testing investigated
Completed prototype by March 15

6. General responsibilities
LTU ENGINEERS
Ergonomic design for pad
Fabrication of bladders
Flow lines
UDM ENGINEERS
Responsible for programming software
Air flow design and methods
Simultaneously each group member will contribute by providing testing methods, Background information, and design parameters as well as participating in manufacturing of prototype

7. Next steps for implementation
Purchase more components
Materials testing
Finalize prototype
Prototype testing
